David, One reason that they apparently do not is that mercurial has been more stable and usable for a longer period. It was more than two years ago that I decided to begin using a VCS for local projects. I surveyed the field, concluded I wanted a DVCS, and gradually got the sense that mercurial was already usable without too much risk of ending up stranded by major design changes or death of the project. Bzr was in the early development stages, breaking away from the original bazaar which was being abandoned, so it was simply not a reasonable choice at the time.
